Default Fields Shift When Adding Columns to DDE Linked Excel Spreadsheet

I am attempting to add a couple of new columns of data in an Excel file to
add to a form letter using Mail Merge. However, when I do, the field links
in Word shift so that the data I want does not read from the column it is
actually under. For example, the "End of Month" date might only pull from a
field heading for a column two spaces away while the "End of Month" column
pulls data from a blank column. How do I add field columns to the Excel file
without causing this to happen?
